Creating a RAID schemes consisting of several RAID sets

You can create complex RAID schemes consisting of several RAID sets of different types.

For example, you create two stripped RAID sets each with two disks, then create a mirrored RAID set using the two stripped sets. The stripped set provides rapid fast data access, while the mirrored set provides data redundancy.

Another possibility would be to concatenate two 40 MB disks and use the concatenated set with an 80 MB disk to create a mirrored RAID set.

  1. Click the Add (+) button to set up the main RAID set and each of the RAID sets that will be part of the set.
  2. Drag each of the sub-sets under the main set. The sub-sets will be indented under the main set.
  3. Drag disks to the appropriate sets.
  4. Click Create.
